Happy Holidays!!

Decorations hang from many a fixture and cubicle, home-baked treats smell sweet in the break room and holiday cards line desks and file cabinets: Yes, the seasonal cheer is impossible to miss at GBA’s many offices.

Yet, we realize not everyone is as fortunate.

So, the GBA elves did their best to help, pairing with The Gillis Center of Kansas City, Mo.

The Gillis Center has a long history of helping children and families, dating back to 1870. Back then, it provided shelter for women and children displaced and destitute after the Civil War. Today, it serves families and children through campus-based and community-based services, including residential care, special needs education, crisis intervention and reunification. The ultimate goal is for each of the center’s families to have healthy, nurturing and self-sufficient homes.

 

While the Lenexa office was donating goodies and making cards for Gillis Center families, our O’Fallon office was collecting items like diapers, art supplies and clothing for the St. Louis Crisis Nursery. The nursery provides short-term care for young children while helping families resolve crisis.

Thank you to everyone who donated items and their time!

Happy holidays and best wishes for peace and prosperity in the New Year from all of us at GBA!
